It didn't take Louisville PRP coach Chris Wolfe long to realize just how big a priority his star player would be for Kentucky in the Class of 2008.

"I was talking to Joker (Phillips) recently and he said they're not going to offer as many in-state kids as they have in the past," Wolfe said. "They've only got something like 10 or 12 rides, so that puts Brandon in pretty select company. When I told him that, I think he really got an idea of how serious Kentucky was about him."
